Yoga Camp Day 1- I Accept

So YOGA.

There was a time on my LDS mission that I was really stressed out. (Okay so like the whole 18 months...) But from about 9 months to 12 months, my missionary companion that I had been assigned to really loved yoga. There's a really great YouTube channel called Yoga With Adriene. This certain mission companion's mom had downloaded some of the videos from that channel and put them on a DVD, and she was given permission to use them while exercising every morning. At first, I was hesitant and would just do my thing while she did hers. But after a while, I joined sometimes, and learned how to love it. We focused a lot on cardio in my mission, so we didn't do yoga very often, but I learned that it was something I wanted include in my life.

So now here I am! I get to do as much yoga as I want!

I decided to start with the YOGA CAMP - 30 DAY HOME PRACTICE, which turned out to be a very good choice for me. I hope y'all can find some joy from taking care of yourself as well. I've found that yoga is great exercise, but also helps me feel more connected to my body, mind, and spirit. While I believe that other forms of exercise are important to have in addition to yoga, there are some serious benefits to including it into your routine.

What I absolutely LOVE about Yoga With Adriene is she has her practices organized according to what you need. For example, if I only have 15 minutes, I can still do a practice. If I need help winding down before bed, she has a playlist for that too! The possibilities are endless, I hope you check it out!

Remember to be nice to yourself!
